NFL insider Peter Schrager is in “serious talks” with ESPN about joining the network, according to a report by Front Office Sports.

Schrager is well known for his role as the co-host of “Good Morning Football” on the NFL Network along with his pre-game and sideline work for Fox Sports’ NFL broadcasts. Although a source told FOS a deal with ESPN has not been finalized, “it’s likely” that he will make the move.

If so, the 42-year-old Schrager is expected to contribute to numerous programs across the network, including “NFL Live,” Stephen A. Smith’s “First Take” and “Get Up” with Mike Greenberg. If a deal is finalized in time, he could also contribute to ESPN’s coverage of next month’s NFL draft.

Whether Schrager would also bring his podcast “The Season” with him has yet to be determined, according to the report.

Schrager began his career writing for ESPN.com before joining FoxSports.com and steadily expanding his role as an NFL insider to include “Good Morning Football.” He has also authored two books: “Strength of a Champion” with former NFL linebacker O.J. Brigance, and the New York Times best seller “Out of the Blue” with former New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz.
